Covers coverage of the medical genetic principles required for the boards and clinical practice. This title imparts an understanding of the subject's basic principles along with the medical-specific genetic knowledge required for any type of medical examination and clinical practice.
A complete introductory text on how to integrate basic genetic principles into the practice of clinical medicine Medical Genetics is the first text to focus on the everyday application of genetic assessment and its diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive implications in clinical practice. It is intended to be a text that you can use throughout medical school and refer back to when questions arise during residency and, eventually, practice. Medical Genetics is written as a narrative where each chapter builds upon the foundation laid by previous ones. Chapters can also be used as stand-alone learning aids for specific topics. Taken as a whole, this timely book delivers a complete overview of genetics in medicine. You will find in-depth, expert coverage of such key topics as:
The structure and function of genesCytogeneticsMendelian inheritanceMutationsGenetic testing and screeningGenetic therapiesDisorders of organellesKey genetic diseases, disorders, and syndromes
Each chapter of Medical Genetics is logically organized into three sections:
Background and Systems - Includes the basic genetic principles needed to understand the medical applicationMedical Genetics - Contains all the pertinent information necessary to build a strong knowledge base for being successful on every step of the USMLE Case Study Application - Incorporates case study examples to illustrate how basic principles apply to real-world patent care
Today, with every component of health care delivery requiring a working knowledge of core genetic principles, Medical Genetics is a true must-read for every clinician.
